Yterm can be ordered from the Yale University computer center for $50 for a single user copy, or $1000 for a University Site license. ($2000 for a corporate/business site licencse.) As was stated in a previous article, Yterm does not support any file transfer protocol but its own. This means that the host system will need the support programs as well. To my knowledge, Yterm is supported primarily for IBM mainframes. This does not mean that the emulator does not work for other purposes, it does. It can act reasonably well as a VT100 emulator. However, I do not think that Yale supports file transfer on other machines. (you will have to ask them about that.) ------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | OOO | | | O O SSS | Why do today what's due tomorrow? | | O O PPP U U S | | | O O P P U U SSS | Hey...sounds good to me! =-) | | O O PPP U U S | | | OOO P UUU SSSS | KDM101@PSUVM O04@PSUVM | | P | KXM@PSUARCH kdm101@psusun01 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why should I want to disclaim anything???

The $2000 price applies to *any* non-educational user, including government and other non-profit organizations. There are versions of the host PCTRANS for VMS and UNIX based systems, but as noted earlier the primary thrust of the YTERM product was support of the IBM world (both VM and TSO). Joe Morris
